Rolling resistance computation of tires
Simulation of the self-heating and computation of rolling resistance of steady state rolling tires
Research topics
- Development of a sequentially coupled thermo-mechanical algorithm for steady state rolling tires
- Implementation of a nonlinear viscoelastic material model of rubberlike materials
- Computation of the rolling resistance and temperature evolution inside the tire at different driving states
- Investigation of the coupling dependencies between thermal and mechanical properties
